To much Caving/Potholing can ruin your cilt/kilt. I have first hand experience.

Not good Derek, even if it was and old kilt, it didn't derserve that. Hope you can find some use for it, in its retirement.

Ooooooh dear Derek! I think this demonstrates perfectly, why many Scots wear their one kilt on special occasions!

Indeed! I sincerely hope that Derek's damaged kilt was inexpensive and not an heirloom quality tank

This cilt was not a cheap one ... but it has stood up to a great set of adventures. I still use it for bad weather treking and caves and have worn it decorating in the cottage. I just pin up some swatches over the holes. Its only the front apron thats gone.
Its been caving/potholing and around waterfall country nurmerous times

I felt honoured to be present at the cave entrance to pay homage to your long lasting adventurous Cilt Derek.

That only seems like yesterday Rob. That was a good day.
Here is another pic from the last time you came to visit .... In search of a pint at

The Goose & Cuckoo ...

Would be great if you could make our folk festival Sept 16/17th Rob. There are some great bands and artistes booked for this year.
